The only thing I agree with is that the EU should get stronger militarily.
The rest of this article is neocon/industry hogwash. Hegseth instructed the EU in 2025 to get stronger and finance the US proxy war in Ukraine.
The article also panders to big business by promoting AI. It mentions none of the issues that populations face in the EU (housing, immigration. inflation).
One wonders who buys his Substack subscriptions ...
Europe needs to ensure its defence spending is in Europe, not buying stuff from other countries. Yes it as an opportunity to re industrialise.
> US proxy war in Ukraine
how its US proxy war?
1.) Hegseth can not "instruct" EU.
2.) The Ukraine war is not US proxy war, after all US is not supporting Russian invasion. That war was started by Russia because Russia wants to expand and steal other countries.
There is a clip from either the Daily Show or Last Week Tonight of US presidents going back to the 90s telling EU leaders to get their shit together when it comes to defense and sovereignty.
Also what do you mean US proxy war? I don't get that part of your post
